I doubt this device is real, and I doubt we will ever hear of this again, but suppose for the sake of argument it is true. As I said before about others who pursued this strategy, such as Rossi, this is a supremely stupid thing to do. It will cost a great deal of money and waste a lot of time. It may end catastrophically, if one of the units malfunctions.
There is no need to sell anything to the public, or to produce more than a handful of gadgets. Ten should be enough. Find ten experts at places like Georgia Tech who express interest in testing them. Give them the gadgets with a one month time limit. The expert has to test it and write a report in one month, or return the gadget. After a month or so you have 10 reports from experts showing that the gadget is real. With that in hand you can get 10 more experts, or 100 more. Soon everyone in the world will believe the claim and you can then collect billions dollars in contracts to manufacture them or in investment capital. There is no need to involve the public, or to mass produce anything. These steps would actually be counterproductive. - Jed
